No, I think you're "mixing it up."

The original Cobra built in the 1960's is a classic. That is correct.

Some approximation or imitation of the original that is being reproduced in mass quantities 50 years later with modern materials and process is modern. Not classic.

Only the owners of the original 1960's Cobra have classics. The rest of us own a modern reproduction of, or tribute to, a classic. And I personally see no reason, other than possibly money (even though the difference is a rounding error in the build), to not install a Tremec 5-speed.
